There it was—
A bird in a tree
Stoically staring at me—
Those eyes and wings
Invoking thoughts of angels
Never yet seen:-
Nature continues to allegorically
Remind us—
How blessed we be—
We hued ones of today’s
Exodus:-
The cross of resurrection was made
From the wood of a tree
Like that one in which was the avian
Staring down at me;
And when symbolizing God’s undying
Love,
We often choose that beautiful bird
Called a dove;
And now in awakening awareness of
Such avian bliss,
I’m pondering the allegorical message
Of a hanging chrysalis:-
